Campfires, smores, outdoors, beautiful views, Dutch Oven cooking, grilling, and being out there on your own…sounds great, doesn’t it? But what about …the bugs…? Don’t worry, because there is an oil for that! (And we’ll get to it!)
There are many oils that can enhance and flavor your camping meals. There are the HERBAL oils: Basil, Thyme, Peppermint, Oregano, Cilantro, Coriander, Lemongrass, Marjoram, and Fennel.
And the CITRUS oils: Lemon, Lime, Wild Orange, and Grapefruit.
And don’t forget the SPICY Oils: Black Pepper, Cumin, Cinnamon Bark, and Cassia.
Cardamom and Ginger will also add gentle flavors to your dishes.
When you are using these oils to cook with, remember a little goes a long way. Consider using a toothpick dipped in the oil swirled through your dish towards the end of its cooking time to keep the flavor, but not overpower the food. You can flavor your dips, soups, water, marinate your meats, add the oils to salads or salad dressings. The applications are limitless.

Many of these oils can be used for other purposes while out in the wild. Lemon, Cilantro, Lemongrass, Lime, and Oregano contain cleansing properties. The Protective Blend is also a good choice when looking for an oil to help clean your camping area.
Marjoram, Cassia, and Cinnamon Bark (diluted) can be used for a massage to ease occasional sore muscles and joints.
Now back to those bugs…Peppermint and Thyme are natural bug repellents. However, the OUTDOOR Blend is made specifically for this purpose and contains a powerhouse blend of repelling oils.
